Between new looks on the silhouette designed by the team and collaborative partners, lots of attention has been brought to the classic sneaker. This week, the high-top version of the shoe sees its release in an orange covered “Starfish.” Now, as fall settles in, yet another orange colorway of the Air Jordan 1 has surfaced.In a color scheme reminiscent of various “Shattered Backboard” editions of the Air Jordan 1, orange meets black and off-white.

From there, an off-white, “Coconut Milk,” midsole appears to lighten the look.Release information for the Air Jordan 1 Low “Sport Spice” has yet to be announced.
